Cookie Policy
The digital kind, not the chocolate chip kind
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. They're not programs or malware – they're just tiny data files that help websites remember things about you and your preferences.
Think of cookies like a website's memory. Without them, every time you visit a site, it would be like meeting for the first time – the site wouldn't remember your login status, preferences, or items in your shopping cart.
The NexGenix Cookie Philosophy:
We use cookies to make your experience better, not to track you for advertising or sell your data. We keep it minimal and transparent.

For The Tech-Curious
Wondering what a cookie actually looks like? Here's a simplified example of what might be stored in a cookie:
{
"user_preferences": {
"theme": "dark",
"language": "en",
"notifications_enabled": true
},
"session_data": {
"last_visit": "2025-03-14T15:30:45Z",
"session_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0"
}
}This is just an example – actual cookies can be simpler or more complex depending on their purpose. They're stored on your device and sent back to the server with each request to the website that created them.
